Relevant Information:

L169 is very similar to
L002 but has a broader pattern of lines on the head and is
also better coloured. The differences between the Panaqolus
and the Panaque genera is that the latter has an oval
shaped mouth and the jaws have very large spatulate teeth with
a single cusp, arranged in a v form and Panaqolus have
a small number of spatulate teeth and are also a smaller genus.
Aquarium care: Peacfull in the aquarium but not suitable
for planted tanks as they are plant eaters. Diet:
All Panaque (Panaqolus) are wood eaters so would
need this in an aquarium set-up. Feed also vegetable foods such
as cucumber and courgette (zucchini) and sinking tablets. Sexual
differences: Males posses a broad head and odontodes
on the posterior part of the body, behind the gill covers and
on the pectoral spines. The latter two are a lot shorter in the
females.
